When they say those dogs are too small for your house... they're right. House sizes these days are just to small for big dogs. You need at least 1/2 acre for a big dog to really be comfortable.
My brother has a choclate lab, and it's destroying his townhouse. It's completely trained and obedient, and they take him out for walks. But you just CAN'T stop a young dog from playing. It's scratched up the hardwood floors. And put a hole in the wall by accidentally crashing into it.
I got a miniature poodle. Yeah, it's a wimpy dog, I know. I wanted a real dog, but it just doesn't make sense, and we have a 50x130 foot lot. That lot size is *just* big enough for our 16lb dog to excercise.
He serves the purpose, keeps my wife company when I'm gone. Very affectionate. Most importantly, ZERO shedding. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, a poodle is the only dog that doesn't shed AT ALL.
